History

But how do we know if we are looking too much into the future? You never want to be caught always thinking forward. Looking forward is good, but the future holds all new problems, new technology, new diseases, and new enemies. It is important to keep hold of your past. You do not want to be introduced to the future in a state of panic. You want your outline; it is like a safety blanket. We need that safety blanket, it is necessary to help us deal with the changes in the world.

A lot of other people say that history repeats itself. They are not saying that Germany will try once more to take the world over. They are simply saying the problems of our past, will appear once more in our future. History has been quite prevalent in the way we view the world. The oldest problems of the world are still present, hunger, war, love. These problems are the base of the world; we would not be who we are without these issues.

But can history actually help us? Can it help shape our futures and help us prepare what lies ahead of us? And what lies ahead could be a number a things. War, Economic Depressions, and many other things we can not even foresee. The important thing is to keep your eyes forward, and your mind looking back. You want to be able to live in the future, but with the lessons of the past. Everyone needs a guide, and the past is that guide for the future. The future is where we will end up, but you must remember, everything eventually becomes History.
